One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worIds of religion, government, Iiterature, and sociaI justice. Modern science has its roots in western reIigious thought, was nurtured in universities established for religious reasons, and owes some of its greatest discoveries to scientists who themseIves were peopIe of faith. NonetheIess, on one issue after another, from evolution to the big bang to the age of the Earth itself, religion is often on a collision course with scientific thought. On one side, religious beIievers have constructed pseudosciences to justify narrow interpretations of scripture or to support specific religious claims. On the other, non-believers have used scientific authority to IabeI faith a delusion to be set aside. Can science and religion truIy coexist or are they forever Iocked in confIict? This one-time-onIy video Iecture wilI approach this question by focusing specificaIIy on a few of today's most contentious issues. Can science today be understood in a religious context, or have we finaIly reached the end of faith? PubIic opinion continues to demonstrate a surprising unwillingness to embrace the scientific consensus on issues affecting the weII-being and prosperity of the worId. While it might seem logical to attribute anti-science attitudes to dogma or factual unawareness, the roots of this problem go far deeper. |
